Morgan Stanley Upgrades PTC Therapeutics to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $67

On Friday, Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) revealed topline results from the APPULSE-PNH Phase 3B study of Fabhalta&nbsp;(iptacopan) in adult patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who were switched from anti-C5 therapies (Hb ≥10g/dL following treatment with eculizumab or ravulizumab).
Ultomiris (ravulizumab) and Soliris&nbsp;(eculizumab) are commonly used anti-C5 therapies, and they are made by AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>).

PNH is a rare complement-mediated blood disorder. People with PNH have an acquired mutation in some of their hematopoietic stem cells, which are located in the bone marrow and can grow and develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
This mutation <a target="_blank" href="https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/new-phase-iiib-data-shows-novartis-fabhalta-improved-hemoglobin-levels-adult-patients-paroxysmal-nocturnal-hemoglobinuria-who-switched-from-anti-c5-therapy" rel="noreferrer noopener">causes</a> them to produce RBCs that are susceptible to premature destruction by the complement system.
After 24 weeks of treatment with Fabhalta, the average hemoglobin (Hb) level improved compared to baseline. The study&#8217;s safety profile of Fabhalta monotherapy was consistent with previously reported data.
Data will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting in 2025.
The FDA recently granted accelerated approval for Fabhalta to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression, and development is ongoing in multiple complement-mediated diseases.
Last month, Novartis raised its mid-term sales guidance, increasing its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) target to 6% from 5% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/42115127/novartis-confident-in-growth-as-it-elevates-midterm-sales-forecast-ceo-narasimhan-highlights-robust-pipeline-supporting-long-term-strategy" rel="noreferrer noopener">for 2023-2028</a>.
The upgrade reflects performance from current growth drivers and anticipated launches, many of which are expected to retain U.S. exclusivity into the 2030s.
Earlier this week, PTC Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) signed an exclusive global license and collaboration agreement with&nbsp;Novartis for its PTC518 Huntington&#8217;s disease program, which&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42272846/ptc-therapeutics-inks-licensing-pact-with-novartis-worth-3-billion-for-huntingtons-program" rel="noreferrer noopener">includes related molecules</a>.
Under the agreement, PTC will receive an upfront payment of $1.0 billion, up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a profit share in the U.S., and double-digit tiered royalties on ex-U.S. sales.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is Novartis A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
Wall Street analysts view Novartis on the whole as a Neutral, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Graham Perry from B of A Securities in Novartis is the most bearish, expecting a 3.7% fall in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, Novartis fell 12.4%, which indicates that opinion soured on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 8.84% over the past year.

PTC Therapeutics Signed An Exclusive Global License And Collaboration Agreement With Novartis For Its PTC518 Huntington's Disease Program, For An Upfront Payment Of $1B, Up To $1.9B In Milestone Payments, A Profit Share In The U.S., And Double-digit Tiered Royalties On Ex-U.S. Sales

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) announced today the signing of an exclusive global license and collaboration agreement with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a subsidiary of Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>), for its PTC518 Huntington's disease program, which includes related molecules. Under the agreement, PTC will receive an upfront payment of $1.0 billion, up to $1.9 billion in development, regulatory and sales milestones, a profit share in the U.S., and double-digit tiered royalties on ex-U.S. sales.
"PTC518 is the leading oral disease-modifying therapy in development for Huntington's disease and the economics of this agreement are consistent with the promise of this treatment," said Matthew B. Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer, PTC Therapeutics. "This collaboration combines PTC's expertise in developing small molecule splicing therapies with Novartis's expertise in global development and commercialization of neuroscience therapies. We are excited to collaborate with Novartis to accelerate the potential of PTC518 for the hundreds of thousands of HD patients worldwide in need of a therapy designed to be well-tolerated and an effective disease-modifying therapy. PTC will use the proceeds of this transaction to expand our splicing platform as well as to support commercial and development portfolio activities."
"Huntington's Disease is a devastating, fatal, familial disease. This agreement with PTC is intended to bolster our neuroscience pipeline and reflects our strategic focus and commitment to explore new and potentially transformative approaches for neurodegenerative diseases with high unmet needs," said Vas Narasimhan, CEO of Novartis. "We look forward to building on our expertise in neurodegenerative diseases and experience in HD with the intention to advance this potential first in class oral therapy for the HD community."
PTC518 was discovered from PTC's validated splicing platform and is currently being studied in the ongoing Phase 2 PIVOT-HD trial. Interim results reported in June 2024 demonstrated that PTC518 treatment resulted in durable, dose-dependent reduction in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) mutant Huntingtin protein (HTT) levels as well as early signals of dose-dependent benefit on key clinical measurements at 12 months.1 Importantly, PTC518 continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile.1
Novartis will assume responsibility for PTC518's development, manufacturing and commercialization, following the completion of the on-going placebo-controlled portion of PIVOT-HD, which is expected to occur in H1 2025. &nbsp;
The companies will share U.S. profits and losses, on a 40/60 basis (40% PTC and 60% Novartis).
The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearance. The parties anticipate that the agreement will close in the first quarter of 2025.

Baird Maintains Outperform on PTC Therapeutics, Raises Price Target to $52

On Tuesday, PTC Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PTCT#NASDAQ">PTCT</a>) revealed data from the global Phase 2 placebo-controlled CardinALS study of Utreloxastat in amyotrophic <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42201952/ptc-therapeutics-announces-topline-results-of-cardinals-trial-of-utreloxastat-in-als-patients" rel="noreferrer noopener">lateral sclerosis patients</a>.
The study did not meet its primary endpoint of slowing disease progression on the composite ALSFRS-R and mortality analysis.

While modest numerical benefit was recorded on the primary endpoint, and a favorable clinical effect was correlated with lowering plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL), a biomarker of neuronal damage, statistical significance was not achieved (p= 0.52). In addition, significance was not achieved on the secondary efficacy endpoints.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes referred to as motor neuron disease or&nbsp;Lou Gehrig&#8217;s&nbsp;disease, is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
Utreloxastat was demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated in the CardinALS trial. However, further development is not planned due to the lack of efficacy and biomarker signal.
William Blair notes that while the CardinALS trial results were disappointing, the program was not a major factor in its investment thesis. As a result, ending the program does not affect the firm&#8217;s Outperform <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PTCT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating on the stock</a>.
The analyst highlights the potential approval and launch of sepiapterin as a key growth driver over the next year, particularly in treating Phenylketonuria (PKU). William Blair believes the market is undervaluing this opportunity, with a PDUFA decision expected in July.
The analyst also points to growing investor interest in the company&#8217;s Huntington&#8217;s disease program. Given the strong commercial prospects of this small-molecule therapy, positive discussions with regulators about an accelerated approval pathway for PTC-518 could significantly boost the stock. A Type C meeting with the FDA is planned for the fourth quarter to discuss the regulatory pathway.
Additionally, the company aims to file a U.S. marketing application for vatiquinone in Friedreich&#8217;s ataxia (FA) by late 2024. William Blair expects approval based on the drug&#8217;s clinical data and the FDA&#8217;s recent neurology approvals, especially as no treatments exist for pediatric FA patients.
On Wednesday, PTC Therapeutics agreed to sell its Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n42210840/ptc-therapeutics-enters-into-agreement-to-sell-priority-review-voucher-for-150-million" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $150 million</a>.
PTC was granted the voucher along with the FDA approval of Kebilidi (eladocagene exuparvovec-tneq) for children and adults <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41984686/fda-grants-conditional-approval-for-ptc-therapeutics-gene-therapy-as-first-ever-with-direct-administration-in-brain" rel="noreferrer noopener">with AADC deficiency</a>.
Price Action: PTCT stock is down 1.98% at $45.10 during the premarket session at last check Wednesday.
